Chaotic Systems
1. Comparison of Fractal Function, Lyapunov Exponents, and Poincaré
Sections
Summary:
- The Fractal Function approach outperforms Lyapunov Exponents and Poincaré Sections in prediction accuracy.
- As data points
increase, Fractal Function's accuracy improves significantly.
Data Validation:
- The data presented aligns well with the methodology described in the source document, particularly in Chapter 4, which discusses the results and interpretation of simulations using the Lorenz Attractor.
- The trend of
increasing accuracy with more iterations is consistent with the observed
behavior in chaotic systems.
Quality Ratings:
- The quality ratings
(Poor, Fair, Good, Excellent) correspond accurately with the accuracy
percentages provided.

2. Cutoff Point for Fractal Function Feasibility
Summary:
- The Fractal Function becomes more feasible at around 2,500 data points with a prediction accuracy of 0.85.
- Lyapunov Exponents
and Poincaré Sections have lower accuracies at this point.
Data Validation:
- This observation is
consistent with the trend described in the source document, where the
Fractal Function demonstrates improved performance with increased data
points.
